Two young hands slowly stretched out, one hand pressed on his own chest, and the other on Takuma's chest.

The pair of little dolls that Scorpion had made alone as a gift to welcome his parents back had already been casually thrown to the ground by Scorpion.

"Why doesn't Father's heart beat?"

Xie's eyes were red, and he raised his little face and asked his mother who was holding back tears.

Mieko whimpered, pursed her lips tightly, and hugged Scorpion tightly into her arms.

"Sorry……"

"Xiao, you know how much your father loves you..."

Witnessing the death of a relative for the first time, Xie Xiaoxiao felt more doubts about life than vague sadness.

"So, Father is dead, right?"

"Why do you die when your heart stops beating?"

Xie broke away from her mother's arms, bent down and picked up the doll dropped on the ground.

Gently blowing away the dust on the doll, Xie unscrewed the head of the doll that looked exactly like his father without hesitation.

"Mother, look..."

As Xie spoke, he put the puppets in his hands together, and with a slight twist, the puppet's head grew back again.

"No matter how you destroy this doll, it can be restored to its original appearance in the end."

"Why can't Father?"

Mieko's body stiffened, and Chiyo on the side instantly tightened her sleeves.

"scorpion!"

Chiyo shouted in a stern voice, and directly called out the name of the little grandson who was usually close to him, without even calling him.

"Forget what you just said!"

"Mieko, take Scorpion back!"

Xie stubbornly broke away from his mother's hand that was trying to pull him away, and turned to look at Chiyo.

"Mother-in-law, why do you have to forget?"

"If Father could be assembled like a doll, wouldn't he need to die?"

Chiyo was terrified. She did not expect that the death of her own child would cause her beloved grandson to have such taboo thoughts.

"Scorpion, puppets are just weapons in the hands of ninjas, they are lifeless."

"But people are different..."

The Third Kazekage walked up to Scorpion and gently touched his head.

"People are alive."

"Everything in life will eventually end."

"Dead objects like puppets are only given the ability to move and repair by the power of ninjas, so you mistakenly think that people can be restored like puppets."

"You are still young now. When you grow up and learn the puppetry technique, you will slowly understand!"

Xie clutched the doll in his hand and looked at the Third Kazekage without saying a word.

"Xie is a sensible child, go back with your mother first!"

"Uncle Kazekage and Granny Chiyo still have something to say."

The Third Kazekage winked at Mieko, who nodded gratefully, bent down, picked up Scorpion, and left the Kazekage's office.

The corpses of Chiyo, the Third Kazekage, and Takuma...

There was silence in Kazekage's office where only these three existed.

Chiyo closed her eyes, no longer looking at her son's body that seemed to be sleeping, and asked in a low voice:

"Three generations..."

"How are you going to deal with the damage caused to the village due to Takuma's actions?"

The Third Kazekage looked at Takuma's corpse and let out a long sigh.

"According to the descriptions of the ninjas who came back alive, even if Takuma had not launched that attack, there would not have been more ninjas surviving in Sunagakure."

"so……"

"I will try my best to comfort the families of those fallen ninjas. This matter..."

"Just let it go!"

Chiyo hummed slightly, approving of the Third Kazekage's approach of taking full advantage of Takuma's reputation.

"If you have any difficulties, you can make some articles about my defeat at the hands of Konoha ninjas. I think it will be easier for the people in the village to accept it."

The Third Kazekage lowered his head in shame.

"The most fundamental reason is that I am not qualified enough to be a Kazekage."

"If I didn't want to take the opportunity to get some benefits from Konoha, how could I cause Chiyo-sama to bear such humiliation?"

"When Scorpion gets older, I will hand over Feng Ying's position to him. This will make up for my mistake of making this child lose his father!"

Chiyo's eyelids twitched, she opened her eyes and looked at the Third Kazekage for a while, then slowly shook her head.

"Let's talk about the future!"

"How are you going to handle this war with the Fire Country?"

A look of regret flashed in the Third Kazekage's eyes, and he sighed softly.

"The Kingdom of Wind is barren. I thought I could take advantage of the war started by the demigods of the Kingdom of Rain to plunder some resources from the Edge of Fire."

"I didn't expect that the overall quality of Konoha ninjas would be so strong..."

"First there was Konoha White Fang, then there was the powerful medical ninjutsu and psychic beast of the granddaughter of the First Hokage and the ninja who channeled the giant snake..."

"For today's plan, if Sunagakure wants to become stronger, he has to find another way!"

"The war with the Country of Fire... stop!"

Chiyo nodded slightly, stood up and picked up Takuma's body.

"Now that the third generation has made a decision, I will take my son back."

"If necessary, Sandai will send someone to notify you at any time, and I will give a satisfactory explanation to the people in the village."

"Don't dare bother Chiyo-sama, please go slowly!"

The Third Kazekage bowed and sent Chiyo away. He clenched his fists unwillingly and left the Kazekage's office, heading towards Sunagakure's most secret prison.

……

"Master Fengying!"

Deep underground, the two Sunagakures responsible for guarding the prison saw the Third Kazekage arriving and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Ok!"

The Third Kazekage looked inside through the cell door. After seeing the figure sitting cross-legged, he waved to the two guards.

"You go out first, guard the door, and don't let anyone disturb me."

"Yes!"

A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the two Sunagakures, and they hurriedly left this gloomy prison.

"Watch the crane!"

The Third Kazekage stood outside the cell door and called out to the bald monk inside.

"Hee ha ha..."

Harsh, shrill laughter rang in Fenfu's mind. Shukaku squatted on the ground in the sealed space and gave a burst of gloating ridicule to Fenfu.

"Little monk, you gave everything you had and were willing to use your body to restrain this beast like me."

"But in the end, these humans who are enjoying the benefits have even forgotten your name!"

"How sad!"

"Hahahaha!"

Fenfu didn't pay attention to Shukaku's ridicule, Heshi held his hands and nodded towards the Third Kazekage outside the prison door.

"Lord Kazekage, what do you want to ask the old monk to do?"

The Third Kazekage looked at the calm-looking Fenfu and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

"Shukaku, as a spiritual medium, you should have made more contributions to the village."

"I'll give you another chance to take the Shukaku in you to help the village recover its disadvantage on the battlefield, otherwise..."

"You will stay in this dark cage for the rest of your life!"

A free and easy smile appeared on Fenfu's face, he spread his palms apart, looked down at the words "heart" and "shou" engraved on them, and slowly shook his head.

"Master Kazekage, from the day the old monk accepted Shukaku, he had only one wish in his life."

"Heart and feeling are love. Although Shukaku is a beast, he has his own thoughts and emotions just like humans."

"There is love, there is hate, there is anger, there is sadness..."

"In the old monk's opinion, there is no need to draw a clear line between beasts and humans."

"The old monk also promised Shukaku that I would do my best to fill its heart with love in this life."

"The old monk firmly believes that one day, humans and beasts can live in peace..."

The Third Kazekage's face instantly darkened, and he was extremely impatient with this old monk who didn't know what he meant.

"Don't forget, you are Sunagakure's ninja!"

"It's your responsibility to fight for the village!"

Fenfu clasped his hands together again and looked at the Third Kazekage with a calm expression.

"As Lord Kazekage sees, the old monk is restraining the beast that you think is the most dangerous for the village. What difference does it make if he can't go to the battlefield?"

"Too many killings will only accumulate more hostility in Shukaku's heart. In this case, all the efforts of the old monk will be in vain."

"As for Shukaku, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to coexist peacefully with humans again!"

The Third Kazekage gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeves angrily.

"Even if you are locked up here forever? Never free?"

Fenfu chuckled, nodded, and said seriously:

"Yes!"

"Then you will die here!"

The Third Kazekage roared angrily, turned around and strode away.

"Hey……"

Shukaku rarely put away his usually sharp voice, and shouted in Fenfu's mind with a calm voice.

"Old monk, do you really think a beast like me can coexist peacefully with you humans?"

"Also, you said that humans and beasts don't need to be so clearly distinguished. Are you serious?"

Fenfu responded with a smile in his heart.

"Of course, you and I share the same body, even life and death are connected. How could the old monk lie to himself?"

Shukaku was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Old monk, I have to say that your behavior moved me a little!"

"You are the human being who has the most personality like the Sage of Six Paths among the humans I have seen in the past thousand years!"

Fenfu's body stiffened, he separated his hands, looked at the words "heart" and "shou" on it, his shoulders trembled, and he suddenly shed two lines of tears.

"Shouhe..."

"Thank you!"

"With your approval, the old monk will have no regrets even if he dies now!"

Shukaku snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"die?"

"Don't die so early!"

"It's not easy to meet a human being that you like. If you die, I will be transferred into the body of a strange human being."

"If that human doesn't suit my temper, your Sunagakure Village will be doomed!"

"So, for the safety of your Sunagakure Village, you must live as long as possible!"

"Hahahaha!"

Fenfu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, clasped his hands together, and nodded slightly.

"Shukaku, thank you for your blessing."

"Let me read you a scripture! It is said to be from the time when Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Sect."

"Maybe you'll be interested!"

Shukaku suddenly screamed and slapped the ground beneath him crazily.

"Don't listen, don't listen!"

"If you dare to read it, I will break the seal immediately and smash Sunagakure Village to pieces!"
